Subtext,
Open SourceFor some reason, some Subtext blogs may have an issue whereas no matter if you use the reset password or not, you can’t log back into your Admin interface. That is, the url http://www.yoursubtextblogdomain.com/admin.
I ended up having to actually update not the Subtext_Host table (as outlined here) but rather the Subtext_Config. What’s the difference? Well, the Subtext_Host holds auth information for signing into the Host Admin tool: http://www.yoursubtextblogdomain/hostadmin while the Subtext_Config table has config settings for your blog including username & password for your blog, or in other words, to log into http://www.yoursubtextblogdomain.com/admin
So to reset your password on an existing account manually if the reset password functionality is not working, just run this to set your password back to “password” on the Subtext_Config table (not Subtext_Host), then log into your blog admin and change it later again to a new password once you’re in:
UPDATE subtext_Config
SET Password='sIHb6F4ew//D1OfQInQAzQ=='
, Salt='SPYxRrEmM0CGLgjg0ikCgQ=='
